Another Software Freedom Day was successfully celebrated at the UIC Auditorium last Saturday. Some familiar faces from last year's SFD were there as well as a fresh set of students coming from different schools. Here are the highlights of the event.

Councilor Peter Lavina opened the event (see video below)

followed by Dominique Cimafranca's interesting talk on Teaching Opensource in The University.

Kevin Paquet of PinoyTeens.net talked about his passion for the opensource blogging platform, Wordpress.

Marloue Pidor talked about OpenStreetMap (OSM) and how everyone can contribute to this wonderful mapping project. Marloue, Mark and I co-author mapping mindanao so you can actually shoot me an email as well if you have questions regarding OSM.

Evamay dela Rosa talked about FOSS solutions for Business Intelligence...putting emphasis on Pentaho. She also announced that their company is hiring...so there you go, learn Pentaho and you're assured a seat in Citi Hardware :)

Mark Maglana talked about Opensourcing IdeaCamp...the unconference for people who want to make a difference.

Holden Hao, Afterfive and DabaweGNU President, presented network booting and virtualization, showcasing the same technologies that powered DabaweGNU's laboratory. Low-cost yet powerful solutions fueled by FOSS.

Lastly, I got to present Ardour, Hydrogen and JACK...FOSS-based digital audio tools that deliver high quality output. I would have wanted to show how to actually add each audio track to Ardour but due to time constraints I had to settle with a canned Ardour project. I hope the audience at least get the basic concepts so they can start their our music projects using these tools. Btw, I used Impressive to render the presentation and as well as use Ubuntu's built-in bluetooth hid support to use my k750i as a presentation remote. (see! libre rocks!)

Again if you have questions feel free to shoot me an email.
